Ever since I purchased my first copy of The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, I have been obsessed with grammar. (If you have never heard of it, then you need to go get one right now. Get both an old edition and a new edition. I promise you, it’s life changing. Or you will get stuck in a downward spiral and have a panic attack every time someone does not use an Oxford comma like I do.)

I am quite the grammar enthusiast (read, tyrant) and while I have been known to make up words for my blog posts, I do try to pay attention to my writing style. Therefore, I have decided to start a new series to share my obsession with you. I will be giving tips, tidbits, pointers, and all-around fun facts for all your grammar needs. If you do not have any grammar needs, then stop by for, what I am sure will be, many crazy adorations of the written word and rants about proper punctuation.

I am a wife, a mom to two, a Catholic, and a public health dentist living in our new home on a little island by the San Francisco Bay. I collect sparkling earrings, enjoy drinking tea and red wine, hoard stationery, and take too many iPhone photos.

Here are my stories of the things that matter.And the things that don't too.
